Customer Reviews
Insightful and interesting
An incredibly interesting dive into stereotypes in wrestling and how that mirrors the real world. Brilliantly presented and great guests. Can't wait to hear more...
Unexpected but an engaging 60min
I'd read about this series on Twitter and I'm not a traditional wrestling fan (or reviewer) - but this is really insightful and entertaining. My husband is a wrestling fan but the World According to Wrestling is genuinely interesting and opened up a whole new world for me. Great work team, I'm in for season two.
Great Podcast!
A really entertaining and thought provoking podcast with great content for wrestling fans and non-wrestling fans alike. Definitely worth a listen.
